Why is coolant leaking from my Ford Explorer?
More than likely it is the water pump that is beginning to fail. It has a weep hole just above and behind the alternator. The problem is the pump is chain driven inside of the engine. So, if it fails, coolant will flood the engine and could possibly cause catastrophic damage. A new pump installed is costing around 1600-2000.00.
